Wow.

As a former Texan; this really doesn't surprise me. It's why I got out of Texas.

It does also confirm something I have long feared has settled into conservative viewpoints...a hysteria so vast that it would engender and encourage the unchecked growth of facism.

I implore anyone reading this who is of voting age in the USA right now and is able to vote legally...to vote Democrat.

I'm not saying the Dems are without problems; but they at least don't seem to be focused on becoming facist.

Well, at least the president of Texas A&M has been forced to resign over it. I guess that’s a silver lining?
